Echocardiography Diagnosis of a Stenotic Double Orifice Parachute Mitral Valve with a Single Papillary Muscle

Abstract: We present the case of a patient with a single papillary muscle that is supporting both orifices of a stenotic double orifice mitral valve. With the use of both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, we were able to prospectively define this entity, which was confirmed at surgery.

“…Six patients had both transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). An incremental diagnostic value of TEE has been described in two (Patients 3 and 4) 8,11 . In Patient 3, a preoperative TTE failed to diagnose PMV but intraoperative TEE diagnosed a PMV with a single papillary muscle 8 .…”

“…An apical long‐axis view showed a typical parachute deformity of the mitral valve with a normal opening and common attachment of all the chordae. The chordae were elongated which was atypical—typically the chordae are shortened and thickened 11 . Two patients (Patients 1 and 2) 6,7 had the diagnosis of PMV made at autopsy.…”

“…Previously reported cases of DOMV had single or multiple papillary muscles. 3,4 However, previous echocardiography techniques had lower resolution; therefore, an accurate papillary muscle count could be determined only by open heart surgery or autopsy. In the present case, we could identify 2 complete sets of mitral valves including 4 papillary muscles and related structures by using a multimodal approach of TTE, heart dynamic computed tomography scan, and TEE.…”

“…In addition, intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography was superior in defining the anatomy of the subvalvular apparatus with prospective identification of single papillary muscle that supported both mitral valve orifices with parachute phenomenon. 5) From the aspect of long-term prognosis, it is wellknown that mitral valvuloplasty is superior to mitral valve replacement. Zhou et al reported that thirty-day mortality was lower after mitral valvuloplasty compared to after mitral valve replacement.…”
